Hi,

This can be accomplished using DOM methods. One way is to obtain a node list of Lastname elements, iterate through them and if its value is AAA then remove the parent node (Person). I gather what you have attempted so far is to remove the Person element which will remove that part of the DOM tree from the document. For more information please refer to specific DOM documentation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.
I haven’t used DOM method, only JDOM method. But I will try the method you suggested.
